Something I was adamant about was that the movie [Everybody Lovess Somebody] wouldn't end with, oh, marriage saved [the main character]. They're married and she's OK. I was very pushing on having the ending be that she made an inner growth of healing so that she can then have the ability and the space to love and be loved by someone else, and that love is open-ended and doesn't mean they're going to get married tomorrow and all her problems are solved.
Karla SouzaI love family. In this movie [Everybody Loves Somebody], my character is a successful OB-GYN and yet she goes back to her teenage years when she's with her parents. Like, that's me.
Karla SouzaOur society really needs to take a better look at what we're selling, because I think women being empowered will be as beneficial to men as it is to us.
Karla SouzaI felt really strongly about this script [ Everybody Loves Somebody] because, like you said, it's a very specific way of life.
